SIGHTS SELDOM SEEN - BABYLAND





It is indeed the saddest sight along the side of the roads of Laurens County.  Babyland is located along the front hedge just west of the main entrance to Memorial Gardens Cemetery, located on U.S. Highway 80 between Dublin and Dudley, Georgia.

The area was set aside as the final resting place of the tiny infant children who were tragically taken
from their parents and their families.  

It is so, so sad.

SIGHTS SELDOM SEEN - WELL BENEATH THE CARNEGIE

DUBLIN'S FORMER CARNEGIE LIBRARY 
WAS BUILT IN 1904 ON THE FORMER SITE
OF THE DUBLIN CITY HALL, SCHOOL AND
MASONIC LODGE.  THE TRIANGULAR LOT WAS
FORMERLY A LOW LYING AREA MAKING
IT PRACTICAL TO PLACE A SHALLOW PUBLIC WELL ON WHAT WAS THEN, 
THE WESTERN END OF TOWN.
THE WELL STILL REMAINS, DECORATED BY A SMALL BUT HARDY GROUP OF FERNS.

SIGHTS SELDOM SEEN - FLAG POLE, MADISON STREET POST OFFICE, DUBLIN, GEORGIA


Virtually every flag pole on all public buildings
in America are made of steel, iron, aluminum 
or some type of metal.  The original  1912 flag pole
above Dublin's first permanent post office,
which still stands atop of the building, 
is actually crafted from a tree.
